Project Overview
KtoBLZCheck is a library to check bank account numbers and bank codes
(BLZ) of German Banks and other international banks. Currently, KtoBLZCheck
uses multiple bankdata files in text format which are
valid at different dates. The data which is regularly retrieved from Deutsche
Bundesbank is valid for three months. This leads to a lot of duplication of data.
The idea is to integrate the support for query and generation of SQLite
databases into KtoBLZCheck to replace the text files used currently. This will
avoid duplicate data and enable the support for multiple countries improving
the scope of this library.
I also aim to create an API for querying the databases, so as to integrate
these databases into other applications.
Mentors : Ralf Habacker, Thomas Baumgart, Ingo Klöcker
